The Alpine Route crosses the Northern Alps from Toyama to Omachi on a chain of cable cars, buses, a ropeway and a trolleybus, with Kurobe Dam near the Nagano end. It runs from mid-April to late November, and the snow walls at Murodo are why spring sells out.
Ride the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route from Nagano to Murodo for towering snow walls, high-altitude views, and a full day of mountain transfers.
